The strike marks r from the firing pin of the gun .... For some reason they loaded it twice in the chamber and fired it ... Probly miss fire on first attempt ....

There is no primer inserted in the center. If it had the centered primer it would be called a "center fire cartridge". This is a big rim fire cartridge . That should narrow the search down. It might be a 41. swiss rimfire round. far as date early 1900's maybe late 1800's not real sure on date.Last edited by Hoss; 11-26-2015, 08:31 PM.TN formerly CT Visit our store http://stores.arrowheads.com/store.p...m-Trading-Post

The Vetterli .41 had dual firing pins.

The dual firing pins from a Vetterli leave the round indentations as seen in the image Reflector posted whereas the dual firing pin indentations on a cartridge casing fired from a Henry rifle or a Model 1866 Winchester will be elongated. The below image is of a fired .44 Henry cartridge casing.
